A recent addition to my collection is this lovely Luxor.
I donīt have much information of this brand. Over the past Iīve seen some Luxor pens, but never one that I consider that interesting that would make me buy it. So I must confess I was never interesting in researching more about this brand. That has changed now!!
Recently, when I saw this pen, I jumped on it as I was amazed by the luxury details and mint condition. I just love the celluloid that recalls me some Whal-Eversharps and the total quality and lovely design of the pen. Built almost all in celluloid it has the cap top made of Ebonite with a metal inlay.
The dual stage piston mechanism is very well made and works perfectly, allowing this small pen to fill with a considerable amount of ink. The shaft is very thin but is sturdy, It looks to be made of ebonite.
Some details are simply wonderful:
The rings, the metal top cap with he brand name, the inkwindow and the two tone 14k first quality nib.
Also rather interesting for me is that this is a German made pen but all engravings are in English. This makes me think that t was a "to export pen"
Here are some pictures.
Would love some inputs about this brand.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and thanks in advance for any help!
